The Water is Starting to Warm Up

ByMatt Gohlke April 25, 2014 Gohlke Pools Blog Reading Time: 1 minute

The air temperature is finally starting to warm up, which means that swimming pools are also warming up. Each week we check pool water temperatures in the Denton area. This week the pool water temperature is between 72-76 degrees, which is the warmest that we have seen thus far this year.

Since we maintain hundreds of pools, monitoring water temperature is very important, as we know that pool care and attention to water chemistry becomes more important as the water temperatures increase. In addition, most agree say that temperatures need to be 60 degrees or higher for algae to grow—and we have found that to be true.

The bottom line: The water has warmed up to a point that algae is growing if you neglect your pool, therefore now is the time to begin preparing your swimming pool for the summer. Having a clear, sparkling pool is often the result of getting an early start and then being consistent in caring for your pool for the remainder of the season.

Begin Planning Now!
ByMatt Gohlke December 19, 2011

With last summer’s record-breaking heat, it is not surprising that many homeowners have decided that they are not going through another summer without a swimming pool. Many of them have already begin planning—as we already have quite a few new pools to start after the first of the year. Most pool builders are asked one simple question more than any other that they hear, and it is—“What is the best time of year to build a swimming pool?” The answer will probably not surprise you—it is now, during the off-season. This is true of not just swimming pools—but other backyard improvements as well. There are really four reasons for this: Landscaping—The best time to install landscaping is during the late winter or early spring. Summer…

Now is the Time to Begin Planning a Pool
ByMatt Gohlke September 16, 2020

Most pool builders are asked two questions more than they hear other questions—and those questions are: “What is the best time of year to build a swimming pool?” “How do I begin the planning process for a swimming pool?” Following are the answers to these very common questions: What is the best time of year to build a swimming pool? The answer will probably not surprise you: You need to start the planning process very soon. Do not wait until next spring, that might be too late.

Building a New Pool
ByMatt Gohlke January 15, 2016

Welcome to another edition of Gohlke Pools Radio with Matt Gohlke. Matt, today we're talking about building a new pool, and this is the perfect time of year to start that work in order to have that new pool ready when the hot summer season gets here. [expand title="Audio Transcript"] Matt: That's true. It probably won't surprise anybody, but during the off-season is the best time before the skilled contractors get too busy. You can still landscape, it hasn't gotten too hot to where you can't landscape. There's well-rested work crews, people are ready to go to work. And it takes time, pools take up to two or three months to build, so now is the time to get going on one. Tim: I…

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had the opportunity to have Joey Gallagher service my hot tub several times. He has always treated his customers with courtesy, professionalism, respect  and genuine care he shows to them. I’ve learned quite a lot from him about the hot tub. I would definitely recommend him to any of your customer base.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gohlke (Gary) replaced my pump with VSP Pentair. I then had them (Dale and crew) come replace the Mastic. Getting great service I had Eli give us a quote come back to replace the Tile, pool
Light and replaster. Bill was the project manager and couldn't ask for anyone better.  I was nervous about the project but after one visit he had my complete trust.
Everyone has been so professional and knowledgeable.  I love my pool.  Can't thank everyone enough.  Special thanks to Gary, Bill, Dale, Eli, all the pool cleaners Aaron, Miguel (a couple more).
Gohlke is now my goto for Pool Care.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience speaking with Connor from Gohlke Pools. Although my home is outside their service area and they were not able to come out to fix my pool’s built-in freeze protection system, Connor was incredibly helpful and generous with his time.

He took the time to review the pictures and information I provided, carefully assess the situation, and explain his diagnosis and possible solutions to me—all without charging me anything. He also went the extra mile by referring me to a company that is closer to my home and may be able to handle the repair.

I truly appreciate Connor’s professionalism, knowledge, kindness, and willingness to help even though he could not take on the job himself. His generosity and customer service really stood out to me. I highly recommend Gohlke Pools, and especially appreciate the assistance I received from Connor!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contacted these guys for a chiller to be installed for my Inground pool. I was very skeptical if it would actually work in this Texas heat. I have zero shade trees. Decided to just do it and it’s amazing!! Our pool went from feeling like bath water to COLD! We run it at night and that’s it. Did not raise my electric bill like I thought either. Install was amazing. Customer service was and is amazing! If you’re on the fence, DO IT!

Evan and Anthony from Gohlke Pools installed a device  to regulate the pool's water level for our pool
(a fill-o-matic). In hot afternoon summer sun they both worked diligently to get it done.
Thank you Gentlemen

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have worked with several people at Gohlke. Evan, Daniel and Cody for pool maintenance and repairs. They are courteous and attentive. They listen carefully to issues or questions we have and take time to give us informative responses.

Travis has repaired issues with the equipment and is very thorough and will the share information regarding the repairs.

The office staff is equally responsible and pleasant to communicate with regarding billing and any questions we may have.

Gohlke is a good company to work with.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Korbin came and looked at our very old Thermospa. We decided that repairs would not be cost effective. He tried a couple of repairs but were unsuccessful. Korbin told me about spa removal and we made the decision that it was time for our hot tub to go.
A week later Korbin and some other techs arrived on time and the spa was removed in less than an hour. Everyone was helpful and courteous.
Korbin & the rest of the crew were very good representives of your company.  Thanks for a good experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team has been amazing in the entire pool process came up with a design I just love for my backyard. The selection process was not overwhelming. The construction team was there to make sure tasks were completed timely. They continue to help even after the build with questions. I continue to use them for the cleaning after the build. They know the pool and they are keeping it amazing each time I walk outside.
